RESUME REGRETS II

A resume should accentuate the positive, but sometimes it's the opposite. The following are actual comments on real resumes:

1. Why are you interested in this position? To keep my parole officer from putting me back in jail

2. Candidate included a letter of recommendation from his mother

3. Hobbies: Sitting on the levee at night watching alligators

4. Planned a new corporate facility at $3 million over budget

5. Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details

6. I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse.

7. You will want me to be Head Honcho in no time.

8. Skills: I can type without looking at thekeyboard.

9. Experience: Have not yet been abducted by aliens

10. Qualifications: I have guts, drive, ambition, and heart - which is probably more than a lot of the drones that you have working for you.
